Clue (Premier Collector’s Edition)

Completely unnecessary and, what’s the word these days?, discretionary, but that doesn’t mean I can’t drool over it. Where is Miss Scarlet with the candlestick? In the totally awesome Dining Room, that’s where!

Sigh, but my (really) old Clue set is perfectly fine too, of course. It’s “vintage,” right?

    What is it with accessories and DVD sets these days? Are knick knack companies going through some rough times? Or are studios just really desperate to sell DVDs? (Probably the latter.) First there was A Christmas Story (Ultimate Collector's Edition), with its cookie cutters, recipe book, apron, commemorative Christmas tin... (Whoa, I know.)

    And now there's The Notebook (Limited Edition Gift Set), which comes with a scrapbook album (with stickers!), notecards, envelopes, and "themed" bookmarks. But... wait for it... no new DVD extras or features! So totally worth it. Check out Entertainment Weekly for the lackluster DVD set review (a grade of D - harsh). Or, even better, Amazon's video montage of the contents, set to the soothing, Jane Austen movie-esque sounds of The Notebook's theme music. Hey, they know their audience.
